The sect is full of evildoers, but I am the eldest brother.

Lao Ba was so sad that he could not even cry. He really had no idea!

I had a dream after a long time, and in the dream I was beaten up by Senior Brother and Senior Brother Ye?

Goddess, you didn't do anything wrong, did you?

"Big Brother, I'm sorry!"

At the same time, shadows of magic circles appeared under Lao Ba's feet and above his head. "Mechanical...descend!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, the Sword Master tapped the ground with his toes and disappeared from the spot in a flash.

Just when Lao Ba was wondering "where did it go", the space in front of him was slightly agitated.

It was completely out of instinct, and Lao Ba completed the deus ex machina in an instant.

And at the moment when he just merged with the Red Lotus Karma Armor and quickly released a spherical green energy shield to protect himself, countless sword shadows that were so dazzling that people could not keep up cut the eyes, cut through the air and slashed at the energy shield in all directions without any dead angles. The density of the sword shadows made Lao Ba dazzled.

"Didn't you eat breakfast this morning? Massage it softly!"

The laughter and scolding of the man in green robes came from behind Lao Ba.

At this time, Lao Ba was in the center of the sword energy storm, trying his best to maintain the operation of the energy shield. He gritted his teeth and held on, not daring to relax at all.

But it was this move that attacked at such a high frequency that even Lao Ba was complaining.

In the words of the Green-Robed Guest, it was just a “soft” blow?

However, Lao Ba soon understood why the Green Shirt Man said that...

"One move, breaking the clouds!"

The overwhelming sword intent gathered into a torrent. In just a moment, the land masses beneath his feet exploded layer by layer, and all the surrounding buildings were crushed by the torrent.

The seemingly indestructible energy shield couldn't even hold out for a moment.

Even though the Red Lotus Karma Armor offset most of the damage, Lao Ba was still hit by the torrent and crushed several floating land blocks along the way.

Even the dilapidated temple he fell into at the end was not spared.

It lasted only a few breaths before collapsing.

The power of the sword was so great that Lao Ba was almost forced to break the fusion between him and the armor!

"Hey! Didn't we agree to capture him alive?"

"Ha, haha... I said I tried my best to hold back, do you believe me?"

Hearing this, Lao Ba was completely stunned and nearly fainted. He finally understood why Lei Zun, who was so strong that he could fight against three peak masters alone, was so afraid of these two brothers.

Just a slight blow was enough to defeat him.

If the two of them go all out, won't they die here?

We are both brothers, we are family, there is really no need to kill them all...

"Is this guy really not your junior fellow apprentice?"

The Green Shirt Guest said, "It seems like it can't bear to attack you."

"There are only three disciples under my tutelage, including myself."

The Sword Master replied, "The oldest, the second oldest, seems to be only eleven, twelve, or thirteen this year... Anyway, he's not even an adult yet, so how could he have such a junior brother?"

"Are you sure this isn't a new disciple that Master-shifu has recruited?"

"Shouldn't...be...right?"

"What do you mean by 'probably not'? How many people are there in your Taixuan Sect? You don't even know that!"

"You know, I seldom go back..."

Including the eldest brother, there are only three disciples in total? !

What is going on here...

Lao Ba reluctantly moved the debris that was pressing on his body away. He was a little confused as to why he, who was in a soul-like state, would still feel pain when being attacked.

Is this a dream?

How can dreams be so real?

It hurts so much...

I have to find a way to explain all this...

"Fuck! You can say whatever you want, but why are you hitting me on the head?"

"Who hit you on the head?"

"There are only two of us here. If it's not you, who else could it be?! Come out, damn it! You're messing with me! I think you're tired of living!"

"What are you doing for no reason?"

"Be careful! There's dirt in here!"

Hearing the conversation between the two people in the sky, Lao Ba felt confused.

Senior Brother Ye, was he ambushed by the eldest brother?

"You're hiding your head and showing your tail, I'll give you... Wow, Junming, step back a little. If I don't catch this little thief, I won't be named... Hiss! Are you coming again?! Look at my sword!"

The voice of the man in green robes gradually faded away.

Apparently, his attention was distracted by something.

"It's inexplicable."

The Sword Master muttered something, then slowly floated down like a banished immortal and came in front of Lao Ba.

But an incredible scene happened.

Obviously, Lao Ba was lying in the rubble and hadn't had time to get up, but Jian Jun seemed to have seen nothing. He looked around in confusion in front of Lao Ba, muttering to himself: "Strange, I remember it was right here, was it pressed too deep..."

Lao Ba watched helplessly as Jian Jun searched through the ruins.

I am also a little confused.

He just sat there without moving. What was the eldest brother looking for?

Pretend not to see it and deliberately give him a way out?

but......

I have to say, the senior brother in front of me looks younger than before.

Could it be that he was really trapped in some kind of folding of different time and space? The current time and space was not the time and space he was in, but had returned to the time when the eldest brother was young?

How does it feel to combine two swords?

Who! Who is speaking!

Lao Ba looked around vigilantly.

He was certain and certain that he had just heard an old and hoarse voice.

But what surprised Lao Ba was that the eldest senior brother in his youth was still minding his own business on the other side, as if he had heard nothing.

"No way, he's running away now?"

After searching for a long time, Jian Jun gave up. He sighed and said, "Old Ye, Old Ye, if you really are trapped here for the rest of your life, I'll fucking skin you alive!"

"I told you to capture him alive. Who told you to use such heavy hands?"

The eldest brother seemed to be quite talkative when he was young.

He's been rambling on and on since a while ago...

Lao Ba recovered a little, tried to stand up again, and tiptoed out.

But the result proved that what you fear will come to you.

Click...

Zheng——

The floating landmass in the distance was split in two.

Lao Ba leaned sideways, still moving himself to crush the tiles, and looked with a lingering fear at the Sword Master who turned around and swung his sword at him without hesitation, just for making a little noise.

Actually, it's also good for the eldest brother who stays in bed every day and doesn't want to wake up...

"Hiding skills are first-rate."

The Sword Master walked up to Lao Ba with his sword in hand and stopped, scanning the surroundings with cold eyes.

"I wonder how long you can hide!"

Get down.

I heard that hoarse voice again.

Lao Ba immediately squatted down.

The Sword Master suddenly raised his sword and swept it past Lao Ba.

【Hide on the left side where there are no debris.】

Upon hearing this, Lao Ba quickly rolled to the left.

He barely dodged the unexpected jade sword that chopped down vertically.

It's so dangerous, so dangerous...

"It's an illusion."

Sword Master squatted down and observed the tiles that had just been broken by Lao Ba.

"They shouldn't have gone far. Let's look for them again."

After saying this, the Sword Master disappeared from the spot.

【Get out of there now, as fast as possible! 】

Lao Ba didn't hesitate at all. He gathered all his strength, turned around and rushed outside.

Just at the moment when the footsteps leave the ground and the dust jumps.

Thousands of sword shadows suddenly flashed by the place where he had originally stopped.

The Sword Master who had disappeared unexpectedly appeared again.

He was so angry that he slapped his thigh hard.

"Shit! It got away!"

"Old Ye, Old Ye...where the hell have you been!!!"

"The latest information... that monster can become invisible..."

—Big Brother! There's really no need to kill them all!

Lao Ba was going crazy.

I never expected that the eldest brother in his youth would be so difficult to deal with. He was sure that the eighth brother had not left just by stepping on a broken tile.

If it weren't for that sudden sound and those two unexpected tests, Lao Ba would have been cut in half.

The worst thing is that the eldest brother pretended to leave in order to confirm his guess.

In fact, he stayed where he was and observed any movement nearby.

It’s really as gloomy as it can be!

Even if that inexplicable voice had predicted it, if he had been a step later, Lao Ba might have been chopped into pieces by the eldest senior brother when he was young!

At this time, Lao Ba could more or less understand Lei Zun's feelings.

After experiencing the Green Shirt Man's slight attack and the Sword King's toughness, even Lao Ba, a divine knight in his prime, could not bear it.

Not to mention that the Thunder Lord in the past was far from having the achievements he has today...

Although Lao Ba was also curious about how outstanding his two senior brothers were when they were young, he was more worried that he would be torn into pieces by the eldest senior brother because he could not explain himself clearly.

That would be so sad!

In desperation, Lao Ba could only head in the opposite direction.

Groping along the way, trying to make sense of it all.

"This crow's mouth, why would it show up at such a good time?"

Lao Ba smiled bitterly and wandered around here based on his feelings.

He leaped over one piece of landmass floating in the air after another, entered and explored one ruined temple after another, and even stopped in front of the murals carved on the walls.

I'm curious whether the "winking" mural is real.

"How about jumping down and taking a look?"

Lao Ba leaned half of his body out and looked at the bottomless abyss below.

After thinking about it, I decided to move forward.

Don't worry, this place looks very spacious. Let's see if there are any other discoveries.

If there is really no way to jump down in the end, it is not too late.

[Look up.]

The old voice sounded again.

This voice had helped Lao Ba out of trouble several times before.

It is assumed that there is no malicious intent.

Lao Ba raised his head, his eyes passing through the gaps between all the inverted temples and floating plates, and locked onto a circular, slightly different platform.

Thinking that the situation is already like this, how much worse can it get?

So he put on the Red Lotus Karma Armor and carefully observed his surroundings. Only then did he feel relieved and used the armor's thrusters to transform into a red meteor and rush towards the platform in the air.

After coming up, one can see an extremely huge Bodhi tree with lush leaves and a faint golden glow. Under the Bodhi tree, right in front of Lao Ba, sits an old monk wearing a yellow robe, his skin like withered bark, his hands clasped together, and he is skinny.

But to be honest, my earlobes look pretty long...

Lao Ba hesitated for a moment, then in an instant he released the armor and walked towards the old monk.

【Donor, we meet again.】

The old monk lowered his eyes and did not speak, but Lao Ba definitely heard it.

It was the same voice that had guided him out of trouble before!

And this "again"...

After Lao Ba suddenly reacted, his expression lit up with joy, "Master!"

【Hehe, I don’t deserve it. I don’t deserve it.】

It turned out to be a little monk!

[Before answering your question, could you please answer a question for me first?]

Lao Ba was slightly stunned, with a sense of foreboding in his heart. However, out of respect for the "Master" and inner gratitude, he said respectfully, "Master, please speak."

[How was it, having personally experienced the power of two swords combined?]

A bitterness instantly appeared on Lao Ba's face, and he thought to himself, sure enough, if the little novice monk he had met before was the old monk, and the old monk was the little novice monk, how could Yan not have any stubbornness?

"If the little sister meets such a big brother, she will probably be very excited."

Lao Ba said with a wry smile.

【Hahahaha...that's true.】

The old monk has asked his questions, and now it’s the eighth monk’s turn.

"Master, where exactly is this place? Didn't my senior brother already... Why is he here? Did you summon me here?"

"And that, it's not..."

Lao Ba strategically touched his nose to hide the embarrassment of having said the wrong thing, and continued, "The one who caught Senior Brother Ye's attention was you, right?"

[This is a bit complicated to explain, so let’s keep it short.]

In fact, the old monk knew all of Lao Ba's doubts, but since Lao Ba asked, the old monk patiently answered them one by one: [This is one of the pure lands of Buddhism in the past, Baolian Heaven.]

[What you saw was indeed my former senior brother, and what I saw was also you in the past.]

[I did not summon you here; it was fate that arranged our meeting. As for the one who attacked Benefactor Ye... I painstakingly maintained Precious Lotus Heaven for 120,000 years, and he caused such a disturbance the moment he entered, destroying countless of my efforts. A small punishment is not excessive.]

【Born in the past, living in the future, everything is fate. 】

Finally, the old monk sighed.

"Master, I..."

Lao Ba knelt in front of the old monk with his hands clasped together like a devout believer. His lips moved and he struggled in his heart for a long time before finally asking this question.

"What should I do to return to my hometown?"

"As long as I complete my mission, will the gate of space open and welcome me back in triumph?"

[Donor, you have never left, so why would you go back?]

Upon hearing this, Lao Ba's pupils shocked, and he opened his mouth and remained silent for a long time.

He... never left?

The old monk did not urge anyone, but sat quietly, like a sculpture.

"You said I never left, but this, this..."

[Donor, you might as well ask yourself this: Are you Leon Alex, the Phoenix Guardian of the Twelve Knights of the Empire, from that distant galaxy? Or are you Lee Armstrong, one of Taiyi's eight disciples? Lei, Lei... Hey, your name is Thunder Gaba, right?]

Lao Ba's eyes were dull, as if all the beliefs he had held so far had collapsed at this moment. He stammered, "Then what's the point of me coming here?"

Life doesn't need meaning; only meaning needs life. And the decision of whether this meaning is meaningful lies not with others but with... you, the benefactor.
